Only I Have Two Towers Episode 232

Preparing for Defense

King Johan of Saintland looked around Solarium Capital.

Even seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe it.

The invasion of Mortarion, the necromancer of the century.

This was nothing short of a predetermined apocalypse that would never pass them by.

Knowing this, the morale of Solarium Capital had hit rock bottom.

But not now.

“Move the elephant statue this way! A little more! Slowly!”

“The dragon statue can’t go there! It’s too concentrated on one side! Move it here!”

Knights and priests busily moving about, trying to fulfill their assigned roles.

Their eyes were no longer dead.

Rather, they sparkled with hope that they could win.

“This is the first time. When the word ‘dramatic’ feels insufficient.”

Johan nodded at Knight Captain Roberto’s words.

“I feel the same. To think all this change is due to a party of less than ten people.”

He slowly observed the members of the hero party.

He still couldn’t grasp it.

How to define them.

“Should I place it here?”

“Yes, yes! Please do!”

Kuuuuung!!!

They weren’t particularly large in build, nor were they wearing any special equipment.

Yet they moved house-sized statues as if handling pieces of paper.

Thanks to this, the placement work that seemed impossible before the invasion showed tremendous progress.

“Young man over there? Come here for a moment? This is a vitality-boosting potion, and one sip will make working much easier?”

“Yes, yes!”

The rookie knight swallowed nervously at the bubbling potion.

Ellia patted the knight’s shoulder.

“No need to worry? Our old man… I mean, master confirmed it won’t kill you even if you drink it. Come on, gulp it down!”

“Understood! Then!”

The rookie knight immediately started dry heaving after drinking.

His face turned pale, but fortunately he didn’t spit it back out.

“Huh… What? My body feels light as if it could fly!”

“Of course? It’s a potion made by the great star alchemist. I made plenty, so take some and share it around.”

“I’ll drink it gratefully!”

Johan and Roberto instinctively turned their heads as the knight received the huge bundle.

It’s not that they absolutely didn’t want to drink that potion.

They just weren’t tired enough to need it.

Really.

“A history of a small hero party preventing the kingdom’s doom. I wonder if future generations will believe today’s records.”

Having said this much, Johan shook his head with a hollow laugh.

Future generations? The invasion hadn’t even started yet, and he was getting ahead of himself.

That hero party had such a mysterious power.

The power to bloom giant flowers of positivity even in a swamp of despair.

“Sir Roberto.”

“You’ve come, Hero.”

Johan and Roberto showed courtesy as soon as Jinhyeok appeared.

Jinhyeok also quickly bowed.

Despite experiencing it several times, it was still a burdensome greeting method.

“The statue placement should be finished by tonight. How are things at the forge?”

“As you instructed, we’re making them the same size and shape as the projectiles used in catapults. However, there’s a concern.”

Roberto looked at the catapults positioned on the city walls.

“Even with the same size, they’ll be much heavier than existing rocks. I doubt Saintland’s catapults can handle them.”

“Ah, I didn’t mention it. We won’t use catapults, we’ll throw them. Me and that dokkaebi friend moving statues over there.”

“Pardon?”

Roberto reflexively asked back, then shook his head.

These were monsters who moved such statues with their bare hands in the first place.

Would throwing them be impossible?

Jinhyeok smiled and continued.

“It won’t have as much destructive power as catapults, but that’s fine. The goal is to scatter them widely anyway.”

Ellia had said.

Even if golden statues were placed around the castle, it would be dangerous if too much Death Fog concentrated.

If possible, they needed to reduce the amount of Death Fog reaching Solarium itself.

So he decided to play shot put with Renia.

To crush the advancing enemy forces while blocking their advance route.

“Let me know when they’re completed. We’ll handle the moving.”

“Yes, understood. I’ll inform you immediately when they’re ready.”

After giving a thumbs up, he walked toward a corner of the city wall.

“Hiyaaaaaaaa!!!”

“The speed is just right now, Momo! Keep maintaining it!”

Momo and Kancheo were engaged in cottage industry work in the corner.

The method was: Momo would take out cartridge belts from rice sacks, Kancheo would press and fill them with clay, and Momo would transfer the completed ones back into bags.

Crunch crunch crunch!! Slurp!! Crunch crunch!

Indeed, Mohwang had skillful hands.

Despite handling two tasks, he showed tremendous leisure while eating potato chips and drinking cola.

What are you eating, Momo!! Don’t eat alone, give me some too!!”

“Got it! Open your mouth!”

Swoosh! Crunch! Swoosh! Crunch!

He swallowed nervously.

Potato chips entering Kancheo’s mouth without a single error.

Tremendous control.

If Japan has Ohtani, Korea has Motani.

He crouched down and put a straw in Kancheo’s mouth.

Slurrrrrp!

The cola bottle emptied in an instant.

“As expected of the Captain! My throat was… Crunch! …dry, so this is great!”

He gave a thumbs up with a smile.

The rice sacks that had been piled up like mountains had also decreased considerably.

It seemed they could finish before the guys arrived.

Crack.

He stretched refreshingly and gazed beyond the city walls.

Tranquility and silence that seemed far from war.

But in 24 hours, it would be covered.

With the aura of death that Mortarion, the necromancer of the century, would bring.

Seoul Central Player Hunter Bureau.

Jin Yun-ho smiled as Cheon Se-yeon entered the control room.

“There are still 8 hours left.”

“I was planning to sleep a bit more and come leisurely too.”

Cheon Se-yeon clicked her tongue.

How could one possibly sleep?

After seeing something like that.

“The army size really doesn’t make sense.”

Jin Yun-ho also let out a deep sigh.

The system had shown them earlier without any warning.

The march of hundreds of thousands of undead legions rushing somewhere.

Se-yeon, who had slumped down beside them, bit her nails.

“It’s not just that there are many of them. There are terrifying creatures mixed in everywhere.”

Death Knights with excellent swordsmanship, Basilisks that inflicted mental status ailments just by making eye contact, and Draugr with monstrous strength several times stronger than humans.

Creatures that appeared as floor bosses or named executives were swarming everywhere.

There were even more than ten Skull Dragons visible at first glance, which randomly appeared in the final sections.

“Those Skull Dragons are really troublesome. I seriously considered throwing away today’s ticket and escaping midway.”

Jin Yun-ho slowly nodded his head.

Skull Dragons that even Cheon Se-yeon, who had an extreme advantage, clicked her tongue at.

Setting aside their diverse abilities, they were notorious for being nearly unkillable.

Not just in Korea, but overseas as well, it was considered standard practice to give up tower climbing for the day when Skull Dragons appeared.

Thanks to this, Tower Site was in chaos too.

@ What is that? Are we seeing this correctly? More than ten Skull Dragons?

@ Doesn’t seem like it was made to be cleared? The undead monsters aren’t coming in waves but at tsunami levels.

@ Is it really a Runner who created the unique floor?

Yeah, looking at the Hall of Fame progress, that seems right. Who would do something like that in the first place?

No no, I agree. Nobody would do that unless they had a hole in their head.

@ I’m a Runner. I saw the army and escaped. Not taking questions.

You’re now going to get caught by the Player Hunter Agency for impersonating a runner and get tortured lol.

“Does Jinhyeok know? About that level of army?”

“Well. Even if he knows, I don’t think he’d escape.”

“That’s right, isn’t it? I can’t imagine it. The picture of Yoo Jin-hyeok escaping.”

Jinhyeok was someone who never wasted even a single ticket carelessly.

Since he had invested enhancement scrolls, tickets, and even unique floor creation rights, he wouldn’t escape until the very last moment.

“That’s why I’m worried. That he might overdo it.”

Se-yeon, leaning back in her chair, ran her hand through her hair.

‘What are you going to do? Without even divine abilities.’

The fact that he borrowed equipment from the Player Hunter Bureau was proof of that.

It might be useful for regular floors, but it was ridiculously insufficient equipment to face such an army.

“Let’s wait and see for now. It’s Jinhyeok we’re talking about, after all.”

Jin Yun-ho, who handed over warm coffee, looked at the remaining time.

He didn’t even hope for a clear.

This wasn’t a matter of trusting or not trusting Jinhyeok.

Anyone who had just seen that footage would inevitably come to the same conclusion.

So he could only hope.

That he would come out of the Tower safely without any trouble.

Dark night.

4 hours remaining until Mortarion’s arrival.

Perk!

Yodel Ranger unit commander Kancheo raised his body.

Kancheo went to the edge of the city wall to survey the front.

Jinhyeok, who had also gotten up, stood beside Kancheo.

“Captain! They’ve come!”

He lifted the perking Kancheo onto his shoulder.

And after waiting for a moment.

Swoooosh…!

Beyond the pitch-black ridge began to be dyed with green light.

A color that felt terrible with decay and murkiness just from looking at it.

“Captain.”

“Indeed.”

Following Kancheo, he turned around.

They weren’t only coming from the front.

The sky behind them was also gradually being dyed green.

It seemed they had deployed aerial forces where the land route was blocked by the castle.

“They’re coming from all directions.”

He slowly looked around.

Green light spreading without missing a single spot.

To be visible even from this distance, just how many were approaching?

The friends who had been napping also got up one by one and walked to the city wall.

“Huh. Damn, there are so many.”

Demon Renyah clicked his tongue.

The Rakshasas army they had just encountered was at a cute level.

Not long after, trumpet sounds echoed throughout Solarium Castle.

The quiet castle began to bustle.

“Everyone wake up!! Mortarion’s army is visible!!”

“Everyone to your positions!”

“Check your assigned siege weapons and weapons!”

“Catapult check complete!”

“Goddess Garaa’s Spear check complete!”

He turned around and walked to the rear of the castle.

After taking out Kancheo’s heavy machine gun from inventory and setting it down.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He hammered steel stakes into the supports.

Kancheo, as if he had been waiting, took out ammunition belts from his bag and connected them to the heavy machine gun.

Even though this was his first real combat use, he handled it very naturally.

As expected of a Yodel Ranger unit commander!

“How is it?”

Kancheo gripped the handle and finally tested the sights.

“Perfect! Yodel Ranger unit commander Kancheo! Awaiting the Captain’s orders!”

“What Kancheo needs to do is simple.”

He pointed at the green sky with his finger.

“Shoot them all down. Not leaving a single one.”

“Roger! It’s like eating cold pizza! Leave it to me!”

“How’s the range?”

Kancheo had temporarily installed it during the day to zero the sights and gauge the range.

“At their current speed, they’ll enter range in 1 minute!”

An excellent range worthy of both the materials and the craftsman.

He stared at the hourglass floating in the air.

Although there were still several hours left until arrival, he had no intention of matching their pace.

He counted the time and slowly stepped back.

And when 1 minute had passed.

“Kancheo, let them have it.”

“Roger!!!”

He pulled the trigger, announcing the start of war.
